Another look back to what we knew last year about Russia's attempt to hack Voter Registration systems.

In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data.&nbsp;The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database

In early July 2016, a contractor who works two or three days a week at the state board of elections detected unauthorized data leaving the network, according to Ken Menzel, general counsel for the Illinois board of elections.

As we looked more closely at the domains assigned to the server that still hosts the malicious code we found on devinnunes[.]net, a pattern emerged.

It became clear that all the websites on this computer were associated with the Nebraska company Northstar Campaign Solutions. It also became clear that the malicious code we found was not an accident.

Certainly if a group such as #UnhackTheVote is collecting large sums of money derived from catering to our base fears, it seems they would welcome scrutiny. After all, scrutiny and transparency is what they (allegedly) advocate for, is it not?

Back when I regulated lobbyists, I learned that the lobbyists who circled wagons, became aggressive against inquiries, operated in closed group cliques, obfuscated attempts at sunlight—those were the worst offenders of all.

I invite #UnhackTheVote to open up their books and records to public inspection: disclose ALL revenue and ALL expenditures, including who is/was paid what and when.

The Story of how Devin Nunes and other GOP may have been compromised!!

Thread

In May of 2017 vulnerabilities were discovered on one of Devin Nunes' campaign websites. The campaign website devinnunes.net had apparently been infected with a virus that caused some internal pages to be indexed by Google, in Russian.

The full report on this discovery is here: slickrockweb.com/devin-nunes-ru…. The author of the report notified the Nunes campaign of these vulnerabilities on May 19, 2017.

The fact that we do not have an agency that oversees electronic voting machines is ridiculous and just as scary that these “white hat” hackers are able to take control of these machines and their databases within minutes.

Candidate or Citizen your life could change in just one click. Spear Phishing, it has been in play for years. It has cost us politically and personally. It is back. It is everywhere. What we need to know

Thread

What is it? Spear phishing is an email-spoofing attack that seeks unauthorized access to sensitive information. Spear phishing attempts are NOT random. They are specific, targeted attemps to gain access to private and personal information. searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/spe…

Remember when the emails of John Podesta, Colin Powell, and the DNC were compromised in 2016? This happened because the fell prey to a phishing attack. In Podesta's case, he logged onto what he believed was his gmail account and changed his password.

PAY ATTENTION - VIDEO THREAD - THE MODUS OPERANDI OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION & #TRUMPRUSSIA IS SIMPLY USING AS A TEMPLATE WHAT RUSSIA AND #PAULMANAFORTE DID WITH #YANOKOVICH IN UKRAINE. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

2) #Yanokovich won the #Ukraine election in 2004 because, wait for it eustedes, Russain state operative HACKED the election servers and gave Yanokovich enough votes to claim victory. This is EXACTLY what @MikeFarb1 & the statisticians at #unhackthevote are saying happened in 2016 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

3) #PaulManaforte 's contrived narrative about #Yanokovich being "his own man" (as oppose to an RU shill) and a "strong leader" with "a plan" who was the victim of "bad reporting" is the same contrived narrative the Trump administration has been pushing since its campaign.
